    Transfer case - Noob Question

    No you can't drain it and be good. It's turning anytime you are moving and the bearings need oil. It engages the front drive line to give you 4wd. It is selectable for 4 low and neutral as well.

    Posi vs Open: street driven opinions

    The answer is what is the ROI for you. Will the difference in cost be something you will benefit from? The 2% of time you go off road is it some place that will have a muddy or icy spot that you would need help? If not you don't need one. If there is a good chance and have to pay someone to...

    Won't fire..... Help!

    While it good it running, it's always better to know what happened. You shouldn't have any shavings in there. Make sure you have a quality cap and rotor and they are installed properly. Can you see where the shavings came from? Next time it's running try wiggling ignition wires. And I...

    Master list of non-stock front seat options - what do you use?

    I put in a seat from a 80s Chevy Beretta. Very comfortable with manual adjustments.

    Won't fire..... Help!

    You need a fully charged battery before doing any testing. For a it to run you need compression, spark, spark at the time, fuel, the right amount of fuel. With that said, have you checked for spark, if so how? Fuel in the filter doesn't mean it is being pumped to the carb. Checking for...

    BEST exhaust system

    Crayons work as well. Some of us that is all we write with, so plenty on hand. If you break one or all, put a washer on and weld a nut on the end of the broken off bolt. Heat is your friend

    np205 fit issues?

    The 2 large holes in the rod is a hold over from the frame mount brace and GM keeping everything the same. No need to change the housing side bolt holes. The time you find out if it is needed or not for your application is always after the damage is done. Not sure what the downside is...

    np205 fit issues?

    The first picture is the bell housing end the 2nd picture shows the whole thing and the 2 holes on the tcase side. GM started using a L shaped bracket on the tcase and one on the frame with donuts between them. They later switched to the rod shown. I don't recall the years of the change for...

    Gm went away from the dual frame mounts and started using a rod from the bell housing to the tcase for support.

    Toms Off-road Catalog

    After ordering several thousand from a vendor the last thing I asked was was for a catalog with my order. Was told no problem. Apparently it was since I've never received one. Must not have paid enough for it.... No problem with the products. Wish I could find my old KbarS catalog and...

    1975 Build Thread

    Welcome. Look forward to your progress. If you haven't already done it, make sure the VIN on the frame matches the title. When you had the axle shorted how did they account for your caster angle? What is your long term goal for your Bronco ?

    4 x 4 Hub Frozen Screw

    You don't by chance have a hammer type impact do you? Just went through this with my F250. While different still the same basic concept. I soaked with penetration spray on and off for a while. I tried the hammer impact etc. I finally just drilled the head off. After getting it apart the...

    Best practices for selling?

    I completely get it. I have waaaaay to many vehicles sitting around and much rather see someone enjoy them. Whole reason I sold the 66 and will be selling others. Watched to many hoarders letting them rot. Yes, I've had sellers remorse. Seeing this week's videos made me happy to see how...

    Best practices for selling?

    I just heard back this week from the guy that bought my 66 last fall. He shared some videos along with what changes he made. I loved it. I sold over CL pretty much with in hours. In my area CL goes well most of the time, FB not so much. I think they are a regional thing. I've had people that...

    Snow wheel/tire package

    I think your plow width is more important for keeping snow away from your brakes, etc. I've run a couple different width plows over the years and my wider ones do a much better job keeping snow away from the truck. Most my snow tires are on steel wheels which I prefer. Less bead leaks and...

    Roll Bar Photos.

    Tom's bronco makes a kit that allows full use of the glove box without any mods. It's a different design using flat plate at the A pillar. Some won't like it. Since you are from NZ Tom's has a decent install video that should give your fabricator a good idea on how to build you something...
